Early Leavers

I've been to 5 aways this season and not seen anything like the shit support our home fans give.
By 90 mins I'd say 40% minimum had left, conservatively - up to 70%.
I can't get my head round it.
I'm staying up at my mam and dads in lanchester , I'd presume the majority of those leavers live closer.
- and I know some have a reason to leave , I'm on about the majority


He's not on about you , if you say you have to leave to get back hours away, fairynuff, but the majority , it is f***ing shocking.
It's not like it's 88:89 mins.
It turns 80, and it's like the final whistle has been blown.
We must be the only ground in the country. Living in hampshire I go to more aways then home and I've never seen owt like it

I wouldnt call our home support shit. 1 win all season . 44k attendance vs Burnley. Brilliant.

Depends what you're on about
In numbers and resilience, f***ing amazing.
On backing the team till the end, at home, f***ing abysmal on general.
Leaving on 80 minutes. No noise in 3/4 of the ground, not even a roar at a corner or attack.
Bit aye, as you said , 1 win at home , were obviously just used to shite and have lost a lot of desire over the years.
Going to the match has become a chore for most, so I don't blame them.
We need a few wins and exciting footy and maybe it'll come back, but today the majority gave fuck all support, except for turning up.
 
I left early to come to work, 12 hour nightshift. Only been to 900ish games since 75/76 and a season ticket since 1990.
Hope this is ok.
It's ok for you.
I presume the other 15/20000 who left before 90 minutes didn't have such a good excuse .
Threads like this astound me when people come on and give their valid reason for leaving
Surely you can't believe the 40-70% who left before full time all had a good reason.
It never used to be like this .
Obviously the turgid football over many seasons is to blame

The op made a general statement, I replied.
Thanks for letting me off though. :D ;)
 
Fuck off. Rather have 20k there that support the team. It was embarrassing seeing a half empty ground on 86mins.
it was to you but obviously not to them. I don't kniw why what others choose to do it titters anybody at all. I'm more irritated personally by people pushing past to go to the toilet after coming out the pub and blocking my view if the action.
 
Is this unique to us?
Yes, and anyone that denies it is a liar or deluded.

Every club has some early leavers, but we have MILES more. I have followed SAFC around the country (and in to Europe pre season) and watched football in Melbourne and in between. I love SAFC but we are the worst for it by some distance.
 
I don't get it, for the amount of time you get home just a little bit earlier, I really don't get it.
Exactly this. I can understand a few leaving because they are on a promise or something, but not the quantity that do. Where are they going? Get in the pub a whole 5 minutes earlier, as if it makes a difference?
 
Surely it would make sense to stay until the end then go somewhere like a pub for an hour until the traffic dies down

NOT REAL FANS - Football is dead man, the 20k that left are consumers - NOT fans

edit

a lot can happen in the last 10 mins of a match as everyone knows, Man Utd fans who leave ten mins early would have missed a lot of wins
